Subject:
Reference:
Notice of Intent to Resume Activities in the Centrifuge Assembly Building (CAB) and Request for Pre-Application Meeting Letter from J Zimmerman to R Medina approving postponement of decommissioning of the Centrifuge Assembly Building, dated 4/16/2019 (IN 041-NRC, ML19100A190)
In reference 1, NRC approved a delay in initiating decommissioning of the Centrifuge Assembly Building (CAB) to October 1, 2020. Louisiana Energy Services, LLC, dba Urenco USA (UUSA) herewith notifies the NRC that principle licensed activities have resumed in the CAB, therefore decommissioning will not be initiated.
UUSA has begun making preparations for the CAB to be fully operational by January 2024.
These activities include hiring of additional staffing, operation of the ventilation and fire protection equipment, and procedure preparation. Additionally, the Movement Plan listed in SNM-2010 LC 1 0.k is being revised and the Standard Practice Procedure Plan for the CAB is expected to be submitted to the NRC for approval within the next 30 days to support NRC approval of the storage of classified material by the end of June 2023.
Based upon the current and planned activities, UUSA considers CAB to be in active service and being used for principle licensed activities.
As a result of the CAB startup, UUSA requests a Pre-Application Meeting with the NRC during the month of September. UUSA requests that the Pre-Application Meeting consist of a 30 minute public portion and a 30 minute closed portion to discuss required regulatory questions.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Chris Schwarz, Licensing and Performance Assessment Manager, at 575-394-5783.
